Stringbuilder equivalent to XMLTextWriter?

I want to write an XML file but not to a file...just into memory, so I can
then pass it to a string and stick it in a database.
Seems that XMLtextWriter requires that I write to a filestream.
What I'm looking for is the ease of writing XML that XMLTextWriter has with
the ability to just write to memory like Stringbuilder can do. Is there such
a thing?

Hmm...I found this article:
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/050615.htm
Which mentions:
"the XmlWriter can generate its output as a disk file, a stream, a
StringBuilder or another writer instance."
So, it looks like it can generate a stringbuilder. I just need to find an
example of that... ;o)

A bit more digging and I think I've figure it out:
Dim sbXML As New System.Text.StringBuilder
Dim swXML As New System.IO.StringWriter(sbXML)
Dim twXML As New System.xml.XmlTextWriter(swXML)
